#6 is finally walking everywhere! #7 started walking right at 12 months and #6 took 'til 16 months to walk. They are soooo incredibly cute although they don't look a thing a like. They follow each other around and I have been teaching them how to share and not take things away from each other. They also have strong opinions on what foods they like and dislike and I have to trick them into eating lots of different stuff. #6 is more opinionated that #7 in that way- much less willing to try new things. I sat yesterday watching a gardening video with all my kids and the babies on my lap- it was so precious. They were both so happy to just sit there on my lap. Later I helped the boys with their reading and the babies played with some blocks- they each had their own set and stayed on my lap. I loved it, it was so sweet.
I;m doing much better with the house, just doing my daily chores. Fly lady is awesome. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, eventually I will be able to follow all her recommendations. I am considering getting chickens for the garden and for the occasional egg. I think it would be good for the kids and I think they will take pretty good care of them.
Yesterday, #6 got up before #7 and I found him squawking (he's very loud- high pitched screams-- (he got in trouble for it a couple times yesterday- it's got to stop)) in his room, he had closed the door on himself. He wanted to play with his brother, but his brother was sound asleep. It was very sweet. #7 is curious about everything, but he was tired and his eye teeth are cutting through and it has been hurting. I think those are the last to cut through so we should be done with that soon.
#5 is really growing up. I have to coax him to do his chores, because he wants to stay a baby in that respect. All the kids are doing well and I feel very privileged to have so many and to be such a big part of their lives. I love being a mother. I am so happy. My children bring me great joy.
